FRENKEL, Alejandro. Argentina, Mercosur, and Attempts to Establish a Common Defense Policy. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.2, pp.59-82. ISSN 1909-3063. https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.3973.
The aim of this paper is to analyze a set of proposals for providing Mercosur with a defense mechanism during its early years, specifically those that were put forward by Argentina. This intends to prove that: 1) despite the commercial nature that Mercosur had during its early years, there were attempts to incorporate security issues; 2) contrary to some studies, Argentina did not conceive of Mercosur in purely economic terms, but also offered to advance "strategic" areas such as defense, even when Brazil was against it. In order to analyze various initiatives, a typology of security integration models, namely, cooperative, integrative and collective security models, is expounded.
